Today Gary Jackson and four other ex-employees of Blackwater have been indicted on Weapon's charges.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The former president of Blackwater Worldwide and four other former officials at the embattled security firm were indicted Friday on federal weapons charges, partially the result of a raid two years ago by agents that rounded up 22 weapons, including AK-47s.

The indictment issued Friday charges Gary Jackson, who left the company last year in a management shakeup, along with four other former workers. The charges against Jackson include a conspiracy to violate firearms laws, false statements and possession of an unregistered firearm.

Also indicted were former general counsel Andrew Howell, former executive vice president Bill Mathews, Ana Bundy, who at one point had oversight of the firm's armory, and Ronald Slezak, who was hired to oversee documents related to the company's status as a firearms dealer.

Now is the time to break this home-grown terrorist group up!

write a letter to the editor re. Stop Outsourcing Security Act

Please take a moment and fire off a letter to the editor regarding passage of the Stop Outsourcing Security Act. We need to ride the press coverage of their latest bunglings and knock them out while they're down!
